Nebraska no longer wants to sell jerseys that fans believe are a specific player's.

The school, like many others, has typically sold football jerseys with the numbers of popular players. Because of NCAA licensing restrictions, the jerseys haven't had the players' names on the back of them. But if you were a Husker fan in the early 2000s and bought a No. 7 jersey, you knew it was Eric Crouch's.

Dr. Saturday’s will unveil its preseason Top 25 team-by-team during the next 25 days. This list is based on returning starters, schedule and prospects. However, we all know that once the games begin, things can change very quickly. Still, we thought we’d give our best guess heading into the 2015 season.

No. 24 Boise State

2014 record: 12-2, 7-1 Mountain West

Returning starters: 9 Offense; 8 Defense

2015 Outlook: Coach Bryan Harsin’s first season could not have gone any better. The Broncos blazed through most of their schedule (sans a surprising loss to Air Force), won the Mountain West Mountain Division, won the conference title game, became the highest-ranked Group of Five team in the country and went on to defeat Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl.

Dr. Saturday will unveil its preseason Top 25 team-by-team during the first 25 days of August. This list is based on returning starters, schedule and some highly educated, very technical guesses. While we all know things change very quickly once games begin, these are our top teams heading into the 2015 season.

No. 25 Wisconsin

2014 record: 11-3, 7-1 Big Ten

Returning starters: 6 Offense; 8 Defense

2015 Outlook: Wisconsin is breaking in its second new coach since 2012, but Paul Chryst has inherited a good situation. The former Badger player, grad and assistant takes over a program that won the Big Ten West a year ago and is the favorite to win it again this year.

Don’t expect Chryst to make any radical changes to what we’ve seen in the past. Wisconsin is a run-first team and if quarterback Joel Stave can get his confidence going, Chryst might be able to make the Badgers the kind of well-rounded program it was when Russell Wilson ran the offense in 2011.

The charges against both men stem from a June 25 incident where Tunsil allegedly assaulted Miller while defending his mother. Miller claimed Tunsil became violent after he was confronted about his dealings with agents.

However, East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore decided not to formally file charges against the three players after the victims requested the charges be dropped. Moore also said the statements provided to police were inconsistent and contradictory.

“Lockie is very intelligent as a quarterback,” sophomore running back Royce Freeman said. “He knows a lot of the plays, the ins and outs of them, he hardly has any faults within the offense. He’s the guy I go to if I have any questions. If any rookie has any questions, they go to Lockie.

“He’s stepping up in a leadership role and he’s the guy we look at, so far in the offseason, to help us.”

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez is going to give you a mental image that you may never be able to erase from your brain.

Rodriguez was on the Pac-12 Network during media days on Friday and relayed a story of watching Mike Leach swimming. We won't spoil it, because it fits the caricature that the Washington State coach can be at times.

Two felony charges against former Central Michigan defensive back Brandon Greer were dropped Friday after a judge cited lack of evidence.

Greer, 22, was charged with attempted kidnapping and assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct stemming from a July 9 arrest. Greer was accused of trying to kidnap a woman who was out walking her dog. He was later found acting suspiciously in his car in the parking lot of an apartment complex, which led to his arrest.

Big Ten teams are officially disallowed from playing non-FBS schools starting in 2016.

The conference outlined its new scheduling guidelines on Friday. In addition to eliminating games against FCS-level opponents, Big Ten schools are required to play a non-conference game against a Power Five opponent.
